Tightness a month after fill



Recommended Posts

Hi-I don't know where to turn. I was banded 3 months ago and have lost 40lbs! I got my 2nd fill about a month ago. Last week, about 30 mins after I ate, I got all light-headed, clammy, dizzy and axious and had severe nausea all at once. Even though most of it went away after a few minutes, the nausea persisted as did the anxiety.(I have never had a panic attack in my life) The next morning I ate and 30 mins later same thing. Went the ER and they did tests and said I have gallstones and anxiety. So then I had an episode again the next day(at this time I was barely eating anything cause they told me to eat bland, gallstone diet.) Went to the gallbladder surgeon & he said my symptoms were a-typical of gallbladder-espcially since I haven't had pain. He felt like it was something to do with the lap band. I called Dr. who did my band and went in. He was surprised at my symptoms cause it sounds like "dumping syndrome" associated with gastric bypass. He took out .5cc & told me to come back in a few days if it's not better and he will take out more and I will need an upper GI. I have gurgling sometimes and have it seems like tightness in my throat. Is there anyone out there that has had anything remotely close to this that can give me advice? THanks so much!!

I have tightness in my throat and gurgling sometimes, but it starts while eating, not later. No nausea or your other symptoms though.

I have had the other symptoms (all light-headed, clammy, dizzy) at various times in my life previous to banding, - one time I was told it was shock (it was a few hours after having a tooth pulled).

How is your health otherwise, you have lost a lot in a short time?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
